Test-Pod-Coverage (1.08)

I echo the other positive reviews: this module is a real boon to developers. As one's code grows over time, it's all too easy to let gaps creep into the documentation. Fortunately, Test::Pod::Coverage makes finding these gaps a cinch.

However, given the challenges associated with installing this module, I can only recommend it to the serious Perl developer. The rather complex chain of module and configuration dependencies often causes an installation of Test::Pod::Coverage to break under the CPAN shell. This is due to its indirect dependence on ExtUtils::CBuilder et al., which in turn are only optional prerequisites of Module::Build.

Test-Pod-Coverage (1.08)

This is one of those modules that I always forget about until it saves my butt. I put a pod-coverage.t in all my distributions (actually, Module::Starter does that for me) and from then on, before I release a module, I'm reminded if I've written code that has no documentation.

I never have to think about it, it just tells me when I've made a mistake, and then I fix it. That's a nice kind of tool.

Test-Pod-Coverage (1.06)

I now use this in all my modules. It's simple, well-documented, it actually works (which is always good), and, without any other action on your part, months later, it will catch a glitch in your documentation that you might never had realized otherwise.
